Slow-Cooked Enchilada Dinner Recipe

Slow-Cooked Enchilada Dinner Recipe

This layered Southwestern meal just can't be beat. It gets its spicy flavor from green chilies, chili powder and cumin. Using a slow cooker liner inside of the cooker makes it easier to lift and remove the meal so it can be cut into individual wedges. —Judy Ragsdale, Queen City, Texas

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, green pepper, chili powder, salt, cumin and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the cheeses; set aside.

Cut three 25x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 3-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray. Place two tortillas in slow cooker, overlapping if necessary. Layer with a third of the beef mixture and cheese. Repeat layers twice.

Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until heated through. Using foil strips as handles, remove enchilada dinner to a platter.Yield: 6 servings.

"Tortillas were soggy which made the entire dish a flop. And had no flavor. I make a similar dish but bake in a conventional oven and the tortillas remain firm.

The difference in mine is I use Black Beans, Large 8" tortillas, 8oz Mexican Cheese, 4oz Cheddar, used Taco seasoning for more flavor, and added a can of Corn. No foil needed as I use a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam. bake at 350 for an hour. Dollop with Sour Cream when served and it's super yummy!"

"Tasty recipe that's not overly spicy. The hint about the foil strips made it easy to remove from the slow cooker. This tastes good cold as leftovers the next day, too.

Feel free to add salsa to the mix to spice it up."

"Excellent re old...I added the Jack cheese in the meat mixture and used the shredded cheese on top of each layer. easier to bake in oven. but not for two hours"

"My family loved this recipe. Instead of the foil strips I used a crock pot liner. It made removal from the slow cooker very easy. I did not use the cumin-mainly because I did not have any. But I do like the taco seasoning packet suggestion. I'll try that next time."

"This was a good recipe, but not fantastic. I added a layer of Spanish rice and then topped it with some Johnny's Jamaican Me Crazy sauce, a sweet and spicy hot sauce. With those additions it was great."

"I put a bit of my own spin on this recipe by adding a bit of chipotle tabasco and Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle seasoning to heat it up a little and I used 50/50 hot and mild chili powder. I used part seasoned pinquito beans and part pinto beans and added about 1/2 cup tomato sauce. I increased ingredients by 1 and 1/2 times to increase servings and used six 8 inch soft taco flour tortillas layered on top of one another with the other ingredients per the recipe. Since I have a round 5 quart slow cooker, it worked wonderfully. I increased the cooking time to 3 and 1/4 hours to make up for the thickness of the 6 tortillas. It was a hit at a Super Bowl party and served 9-10 people. Excellent recipe!!!"
